My favourite album is Les Nuits, a song sung in French which sounds beautifully ungrammatical. My favourite song in that album is the Eiffel Tower. I painted a watercolour based on that song. The rendition below isn&#8217;t up to scratch but it&#8217;s all I have now to remind me of that painting who belongs to my friend Jerome. He was kind enough to purchase it from me at a watercolour painting exhibition in <a href=\"https:\/\/antimuseum.com\/en\/2006\/07\/18\/aquarella-2006-an-art-exhibition-dedicated-to-watercolours-in-paris-france\/\">Rueil<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A true Parisian is a weird animal. I&#8217;ve been one for a long time now, but I still feel like a tourist here. There is one sure sign that you are a visitor in Paris and it&#8217;s when you are on line 6 of the Metro overlooking the Seine and you can&#8217;t refrain from gazing at the Eiffel Tower. It&#8217;s true that the view is amazing. But true Parisians don&#8217;t do that. Their heads are buried in their papers (or iPhones, nowadays) and they staunchly refuse to look at that touristy piece of architecture.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13147\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13147\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"13147\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/antimuseum.com\/en\/2023\/05\/26\/the-eiffel-tower-the-nits\/49812821002_f9dc1c4165_k\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/49812821002_f9dc1c4165_k.jpg?fit=2048%2C1329&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1329\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Yann A GOURVENNEC&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;cc 2011&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"49812821002_f9dc1c4165_k\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/49812821002_f9dc1c4165_k.jpg?fit=1000%2C649&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-13147 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/49812821002_f9dc1c4165_k.jpg?resize=960%2C623&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/49812821002_f9dc1c4165_k.jpg?resize=1024%2C665&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/49812821002_f9dc1c4165_k.jpg?resize=300%2C195&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/49812821002_f9dc1c4165_k.jpg?resize=768%2C498&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/49812821002_f9dc1c4165_k.jpg?resize=1536%2C997&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/49812821002_f9dc1c4165_k.jpg?resize=1400%2C908&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/49812821002_f9dc1c4165_k.jpg?resize=800%2C519&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/49812821002_f9dc1c4165_k.jpg?resize=1320%2C857&amp;ssl=1 1320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/49812821002_f9dc1c4165_k.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13147\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Bir-Hakeim bridge from which you have a stunning view of the Eiffel Tower.
